Howdy,

Trying to resize my partitions ON RH 8, so tried to use GNU Parted.

Unfortunately, when I run ./configure during the install it fails with the following error:

configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package (but
sometimes distributed separately in uuid-devel or similar)
This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html

When I do a locate libuuid I see:
/usr/share/man/man3/libuuid.3.gz
/lib/libuuid.so.1
/lib/libuuid.so.1.2

I Googled and there was a similar issue with no solution. Suggestions are appreciated.

Tried that and got the same error unfortunately. Think I'm just gonna reinstall and resize during that time.

Thanks,
